Continue on this road for approximately 10 km until you reach Banepa. Once in Banepa, follow signs toward Nala.

You can park at MG5R+988, Nala Ugrachandi, which is the nearest point to the tower. Note that the roads may be steep and rough, so a vehicle with good clearance is advisable.

Public Transportation
Take a bus or microbus from Kathmandu to Banepa. Buses leave from various points in Kathmandu such as Ratna Park. The fare is usually around NPR 100-200 and the journey takes about 1-1.5 hours. Once in Banepa, you can hire a local taxi or take a local bus heading towards Nala. The fare for a taxi to the Tonchok view tower area will be around NPR 200-400, depending on your negotiation skills. Upon reaching Nala, you will need to trek the remaining distance to the Tonchok view tower, which is about 5 km from the bus stop and typically takes 1.5 hours of uphill walking.
